Who
can forget "Wild Thing" The Troggs have always been remembered for this
60s anthem, but it is just one of their many UK hits. "With A Girl Like
You", "I Can't Control Myself", "Anyway That You Want Me", "Give It To
Me" and "Love Is All Around". They all followed in rapid succession to
give The Troggs world-wide acclaim. Dubbed by many as the "first British
punk band" they have continued playing in their own uncompromising
style of good basic rock music.
Never strangers to controversy, many
of their records were considered by the "powers that be" too suggestive
for the masses, and they consequently banned them. How anybody could
judge Reg Presley's tongue-in-cheek delivery to be dangerous to the
morals of the young is hard to believe.
Their popularity has never
waned and they are still in great demand both in the UK and the rest of
Europe, where they regularly headline festivals attracting thousands of
fans. Their appeal hold no age barriers, fans ranging from the stalwarts
who have supported them throughout the years to the many new fans from
the younger generation. The Troggs and "Wild Thing" have been used in
many advertising campaigns in recent years. For instance "The Rowntrees
Lion Bar" in the UK, coffee in Scandinavia, Mexican relish in the USA
and Canada and insurance in Europe. "Anyway That You Want Me" was
re-recorded for a Yoplait Fruit Royale commercial, and in Germany there
was a re-release of "With A Girl Like You" to coincide with a televised
promotion for the milk and friut juice packaging company Tetrapak. A CD
which also included "Wild Thing" and "I Can't Control Myself" was issued
to publicise the product. Now, in the 2000's, The Troggs are very much a
"cult" band.
